Hey everyone,

I currently have a 50/50 custody agreement with my ex, but I’m considering taking a job that would require me to move out of the area. Our agreement states that if one parent moves, we have to notify each other and work out a new custody arrangement.

I want to hear from others who have been in a similar situation—what factors tend to contribute to one parent getting more custody over the other in these cases? Does the court tend to favor the parent who stays put?

Also, I have a feeling that the parent moving away (in this case, likely me) would be the one going alone. Is that a fair assumption? Any insight or personal experiences would be really helpful as I weigh my options.

Thanks in advance!
